I am looking forward to what 2025 Brings. I have a busy schedule the first quarter:
- January 14-15 – Cleveland Clinic – Final Checkup on my ablation
- January 18-22 – Inauguration – Washington, DC.
- February 20-23 – Camelback Ranch with my son
- March 27- April 5 – The whole family: Disneyland, Dodger Game April 1 (With my son, son-in-law, and my son’s father-in-law), followed by a cruise out of Long Beach to Mexico.
- April 22-25 – Water Quality Association Convention in Long Beach
We are also doing more construction at our house… adding a hot tub and a large deck. Additionally, my wife’s neice and her husband and two kids (7 and 2) are moving in with us for six months. They were homeless in San Francisco, living in their car. We are giving them a second chance at life. We are also giving him a job. He runs a dialysis clinic and is familiar with what we do. I am optimistic! There is nothing better than to teach and help people be successful in life. Pay it forward whenever you can.

I wish a Happy New Year to Everyone here on LADT and also to Bear (Michael Norris) and Jeff Dominique at www.LAdodgerChronicles.com. They both used to write here, but had to leave due to illness (they were sick of me). 😉
LA Dodger Chronicles has some great stuff. It’s the second best blog on the web. 😉
Jeff does some deep dives into all things Dodgers such as this:
You will be a smarter Dodger fans if you read there too.

Be Happy, Healthy,Safe and Prosperous to all in 2025 and beyond. I’m prerdicting the Dodgers sign Roki Sasaki and Tanner Scott. My past record for Dodger predictions has been pretty good.
I’ll take that…
Happy New Year to everyone. May you have a blessed and prosperous New Year.
I’ve been a Dodger fan since 1958. This is truly the Golden Age of Dodger Baseball. We are in for another amazing season. Could the team exceed what they did last year? Probably not, but they could have a repeat as World Champions.
And what might our Unicorn do in 2025.
Have a Great Year. Be loving and humble and kind to everyone.
Best wishes to Bear
Hope you are feeling better soon.
2025 is starting off great already. Thanks Mark.
Humble and kind. A good resolution.
Happy New Year, Mark…
And best wishes to your expanded household!
TY!
HNY
Wishing everyone good health and a prosperous 2025.
Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everybody.
Looks like an exciting year for you Mark. My best to you and your family.
U too, Evan. Godspeed!
I remember posting that Gonsolin would end up better than May. Watch it play out this year
Can’t believe this is May’s last year of club control. Weaponize him in the bullpen and use him hard.
Agree. Even I can see that!
